HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hope everyone is doing well, sorry for the delay. This is probably my favorite chapter so far. I would like to thank Mezzo187 for pointing something out that i should have known, but for some reason forgot. Thanks bud :)
Without further ado i give you the doctor visit...and some other stuff :)
oh and btdubs...this is officially the longest story i have ever written. just sayin :)
Brennan, Booth and Angela were all waiting in the waiting room of her doctor's office. They had been sitting there for a good fifteen minutes. "Bones, what is taking so long?" It was clear that Booth was getting impatient. He kept bouncing his knee and tapping his chair.
"Booth, you need to calm down. Everything is fine g-man." Angela was next to Booth and was trying to calm the nervous FBI agent down. Finally, the waiting was over.
"Temperance Brennan," the nurse called, "Doctor Green will see you now." The nurse watched all three people get up and was shocked. "I'm sorry, there can only be two people in the exam room." Angela knew the lady was lying.
"I need both of them back there." Brennan told the nurse. There was no way she was going back there without Angela, and she knew Booth was going to have a nervous breakdown if he stayed in that waiting room again.
"Your husband can join you, but your friend is going to have to stay in the waiting room." The nurse wasn't backing down. It was time for Angela to step in.
"Listen, a couple years back I was here with my friend and her husband and they had no issue with the three of us going back there. I want to see my future niece or nephew, and some nurse isn't going to stop me." The nurse looked at Angela and was about to argue with her when she was stopped by a hand on her shoulder.
"Susan, its fine, they can all come back. The more the merrier." They all looked back to find a white haired doctor waiting for them. "Dr. Brennan, if you will follow me please."
"Thank you Doctor Green." With that they passed a rather upset nurse and went into the exam room.
"How are you feeling Temperance?" Doctor Green went right to business.
"I'm feeling well, for the most part. The morning sickness has had the biggest affect on me." Brennan told the old man. Doctor Green went about checking Brennan's vitals and feeling her stomach.
"That's normal for the stage that you are at. Now, I'm going to get to the part we all have been waiting for. Temperance, if you would lie back on this chair for me please," Brennan did as she was instructed, "and lift your shirt up so we can see that beautiful stomach of yours." It was clear that Doctor Green was trying to ease Brennan's nerves by being flirty with her. For most women, it would have been funny, but this was Brennan, she didn't understand the concept of flirting, but she lifted her shirt anyway.
"This is so exciting. You're going to be a mom sweetie!" Out of the three of them, Angela was the most excited.
"Ok Temperance, this is going to be a bit cold." Doctor Green put the jelly on her belly and then started the sonogram. Once he the camera to the position he wanted, two heartbeats filled the room. "Two steady, healthy heartbeats."
"The baby's and Bones' heart right?" Booth was unsure about what the doctor meant.
"No, both babies' hearts are doing just fine." There was a loud 'thud' and Booth had fallen to the ground.
"Wait, I'm having twins?" Brennan was just as surprised as Booth, but unlike him, she didn't pass out. "Ange, I'm having twins. Is Booth ok?" She looked down at her partner on the floor and just rolled her eyes.
"Your friend is going to be just fine. Yes, you are having twins, we can't say at the moment if they are identical or not, but you are going to be having two children. Congratulations Temperance." Doctor Green patted Brennan on the leg and went to help Booth up off the floor.
"What did I miss?" Booth said as he woke up. He could have sworn that the doctor said Bones was going to have twins.
"Well, studly, Bren here is going to be a mother of two. She is having twins! Isn't that exciting?" Angela was hugging her friend while Booth had a blank look on his face.
"Twins? Bones, you are going to have two little squints to take care of, that's great." Booth was trying to sound supportive, but in reality, he was just as scared as Brennan was.
"Well, Temperance, would you like a copy of the sonogram, maybe some stills to take home?" Doctor Green asked.
"Yes she would." Angela was quick to respond, she knew he friend wouldn't understand the reasoning behind the keeping of her first sonogram, plus she wanted a picture of her nieces or nephews.
Doctor Green left the room to go get a copy and some pictures. When he came back in the room the set up Brennan's next appointment and then they were on their way.
The following day they were back in Sweets' office for another session. Both partners were sitting on the couch staring at the shrink staring back at them. No one had made a sound since Sweets had asked how things were going and had gotten a simultaneous 'fine'. Sweets was determined to get them talking about Brennan's pregnancy. "Doctor Brennan, how is the baby?" It wasn't a surprise that Sweets knew, it was all over the Jeffersonian that she was going to have a baby.
"They are fine." The words slipped out like they were nothing. Once they were out she wished she hadn't said a thing. The only people who knew that she was having twins were the man sitting next to her and her best friend. Booth was sitting next to her with wide eyes.
"They? You are having more than one?" Sweets was now very interested in what was going on.
Booth and Brennan looked at each other in a moment of shock. "You should tell him Bones. It's amazing news that all your friends should know about." Booth looked at his partner and put his hand on her knee. Sweets looked at them and smiled. Those two don't even know what they look like to other people.
"I went to the doctor yesterday and found out that I am having twins." Brennan told Sweets, who had a huge smile on his face.
"Dr. Brennan, that's fantastic. Congratulations! When are you due?" Sweets asked.
"The last week of June of next year. I'm about three months along." Dr. Brennan gave the standard mother-to-be-answer to the psychologists in front of her.
"Booth, how are you feeling about Brennan being a mom?" Sweets was determined to get them talking about the feelings they had for each other. Everyone else in the world could see it, but the partners sitting in front of him had no idea.
"I think it's great. Bones has always wanted a baby and now she's going to have two. I'm happy for her." Booth smiled at Brennan. How could he not be happy for his partner?
"Are you ready to be a father again Booth?" Sweets' question made the FBI agent's whip to him.
"Again? What do you mean 'again'? I'm already a dad Sweets. Parker, remember?" Booth was confused.
"It IS your child isn't, Agent Booth?" Sweets was sure that his assumptions were correct.
"No, Sweets, it isn't Booth child." Brennan told Sweets in a soft voice. "It's my ex-boyfriend's child."
"Oh, I just assumed you took up Brennan's offer, and donated your sperm. Ex-boyfriend, that's…interesting." Sweets into 'shrink-mode' and looked intently at the two partners.
"Oh no ya don't. Don't you go all 'shrinky' on us Sweets," Booth stood up, "just tell Bones you are happy for her and let us get on with the weekend, ok?. Let's go Bones." Brennan stood up and followed Booth out the door.
"Hey Booth!" Charlie yelled, running down the hall toward the partners. "Bad news, the judge wouldn't go for the restraining order. You guys are out of luck, sorry."
"Yeah, I kinda figured. Didn't hurt to try, thanks Charlie." Booth turned toward the elevators with Brennan at his heel.
No one said a word in the elevator. Brennan thought about how she was going to handle the whole 'Bryce wanting to be part of her life but not being able to stand her' deal. She was in her own thoughts until Booth tugged at her arm to follow him out. Still thinking, she didn't realize Booth came to a stop until she collided with his back. Not wanting to fall over, Brennan put her arms around his waist to steady her. Wondering why he stopped she looked around him and saw the one person she had been thinking about for the past couple minutes.
"Hello Temperance."
